affect change coach hopeful lifestyle maybe resolve walk whether
It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.
biggest camp earn mind training
The biggest thing in my mind is you go to training camp to earn the right to play.
chemistry gets mean means potential talent
Talent doesn't mean anything. Chemistry means everything. Potential gets you beat.
boston both game huge meant played teams
It's important both teams get better. If you look at what Boston meant to our league, every game they played was a huge rivalry.
believe gave good knows obviously traded
I told Eddy we obviously traded for him and gave up a lot because we really believe in him. He's the cornerstone. I look at him as our future. Him and Channing (Frye) . I don't know if he knows how good we think he can be.
gone happy kept pointed winning
They were teasing me about winning my first game. I was happy for them. They've gone through a lot. They haven't pointed any fingers. They just kept working.
amazing came extremely passion played team
They just came out with a lot more passion than we did. They outplayed us and were extremely physical. They're an amazing team and played well.
chance close experience great kids send thrilled valuable watching
It was great watching the kids come back. We had a chance to send it into overtime. Diop made a great play. I was thrilled with the way they competed. They got valuable experience in a close game.
ball great looks moved playing quality road win
They've (Indiana) been playing great and I know this wasn't one of their better games, but it was a quality win on the road for us. We moved the ball great and got a lot of great looks because of it.
tough
There was a no-call when Jamal went to the goal. When you're going bad, those things happen. There were some tough ones, but we had our chances.
plays run seems start
It seems when we get into a fight, we start going too much as individuals. I didn't see us run many plays at all.
discipline lack people run start tough
It's a tough loss. People start making a run at us and we feel like it's the end of the world. We just lack discipline when things get tough.
asking high might playing reflect terms
It wasn't only him (who was injured) at the time. But he was playing at such a high level. The first 30, 40 games, I thought he got better every game. His stats might not reflect that, but just in terms of what we were asking him to do. It set us way back and it set him way back.
anybody game hate
It was the kind of game where you hate to see anybody lose.
